Pizza topping ideas making every pizza personal

Everybody knows what a pizza is and that there are many variations available. Everybody probably has their own favourite pizza, which they will order or make every time it is pizza time.

But because there are a lot of toppings available and you maybe have not thought of some of the toppings that we will mention in this article. So read on and maybe you discover a new favourite pizza. 

Pizza Base

When you made your pizza dough and make them in a pizza shape. You then think now i need to add tomatoes to that base to put the toppings on. But you can also make a pizza without tomato sauce if you want to try something different. Here are some alternatives you can use instead of tomato sauce:

• Pesto (one we personally like very much)
• Creme fraiche
• Barbecue sauce
• Cream cheese
• Tapenade

Pizza Cheese topping

Many people believe that pizza is incomplete without cheese. And, they are not wrong. Cheese makes the perfect topping for a pizza. It provides a great flavour and texture to the pizza. However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy a pizza without cheese. But for the cheese lovers we have some alternatives to the standard mozzarella cheese that is often used:

• Cheddar
• Ricotta
• Parmesan
• Blue Cheese
• Gorgonzola
• Vegan Cheese

Pizza toppings Meat

Many people also believe that meat needs to be on a pizza. Whenever i make a pizza at home that has meat on it,  i wil make a very simple pizza with tomato sauce, cheese and one kind of topping like meat, like Salami or Pepperoni. I really enjoy the simple style, but this is of course different for everybody. So here is a list of meat topping for your pizza, you can consider when making your next pizza. 

• Pepperoni
• Sausage
• Ham
• Salami
• Chicken
• Chorizo
• Bacon
• Beef
• Pulled pork

Pizza toppings vegetarian

More and more people do not eat meat but like a pizza every now and then. I am not a vegetarian but sometimes make a vegetarian pizza just because these pizza also can be very nice. If you want to make a vegetarian pizza you can use these toppings or go for some vegetables toppings mentioned in the list a bit further on in this article.

• Vegetarian meat (sausage or balls or minced meat there are a lot of options these days)
